Information About the “Sitanos forgotten neighborhood” Residences complex
“Sitanos forgotten neighborhood” is a single complex of restored authentic traditional houses located in the oldest neighborhood of the village Sitanos in eastern Crete (distance from Sitia 19 Km – 620 m altitude). It consists of three neighboring independent stone residences (“ANNA”, “ATHENA” and “MARIA”) built around 1850 right in the heart of the Natural Park of Sitia which belongs to the UNESCO Geopark net. All together with their landscaped surroundings, their cobbled streets and gardens form a single aesthetic whole.
The residences are typical samples of 18 th century rural folklore Cretan “kamarospito” (“arch house”) and they are important monuments of the architectural inheritance, history and civilization of Eastern Crete. They follow the traditional Cretan architecture with Venetian details and they are completely adjusted to their surroundings, built exclusively with local stone, which the original owners used centuries ago. Each is built on a different level due to the ground slope.
